Monster Workunits from Astropulse

I admit that my PC is not state-of-the art anymore, but anyhow I try to give the best out of it.

With the current seti@home workunits no problem arises - the average CPU demand is somewhat around 15 hours, an amount that could be easy done even with a P4/2.6 not running 24/7/365.

Unfortunately I got an anstropulse packet on some weeks agot that ran well over 100 hours CPU time, and when I finally finished it, the packet was 2 days overdue - no credit emerged from it.

I thought the packets are sized to not overload the clients with undue big sized packets ? I would prefer that packets are well sized even for the slower clients out in the wild - the seti@home standard packet for me (~15hrs) would fit that criterium well ....

Your PCs are hidden, so I don't know if you have optimized project applications installed.

They would reduce the calculation times.

If you're interested, have a look in my profile.


EDIT:
S@h Enhanced - ~ 1 h : 45 mins (normal AR WU)
AP - ~ 10 hours

I've got 4 Astropulse WU's running, atm. on my XP64 rig, they take a
little over 8 hours to complete. Some take 9 hours.

AP WU,
does work OK on X9650, runs just a little more then 3GHz. Nice amount of credit,
though.
